Chapter 172 The heart is unsettled

Lu Lan, whose original origin and surname have long been unknown, was only a child with Lu Cheng and Lu Xin, and the three children barely survived by begging and doing something to steal chickens and dogs...... At that time, it was the period from the beginning of the Eastern Han Dynasty to the Xingping period, and it was the time when the candidates in the Central Plains fought to the death in order to grab the territory. And in the war-torn situation, there are countless displaced people like Chengxin Lan.

It can even be said that the three of them were relatively lucky, because at that time, the three of them were just small and weak children, and it was impossible to survive in such a situation, without a little luck. And the luckiest thing about the next three little children was that they met Lu Ren unexpectedly and were taken in by Lu Ren.

That year was the second year of Xingping (195 AD), and Lu Lan was not yet ten years old at that time. Because of long-term nutritional deficiencies, he is so thin that he is no different from a bamboo pole. But who would have thought that such a little girl as thin as a bamboo pole, after washing the dust and dirt on her body, would be a natural beauty embryo?

More than ten years have passed in a blink of an eye, and now in the tenth year of Jian'an (205 AD), Lu Lan has grown into a young girl in her double decade...... cough, for modern people, twenty years old is the right age, but for the era when the woman was fifteen years old and became an adult, Lu Lan can already be regarded as an old girl.

But what does it matter? Perhaps it is precisely because Lu Lan did not tie her hair prematurely to become a wife, and today's Lu Lan still has a girl's youthful spirit in her body. Although due to the growth of age and experience, this youthful spirit has gradually faded, but it is natural. Maybe it's like an apple, although excessive ripening can make the apple quickly turn from green to red, but the taste will be much worse after all; Only natural growth. In order to make this apple have its true taste. At this time, Lu Lan is like an apple that is turning from green to red, half green and red, and it is particularly attractive in the eyes of people.

You must know that Lu Lan also has a difference from the women at that time, that is, after Lu Lan followed Lu Ren, she was definitely the girl who was "poisoned" the most by Lu Ren, but there were women like Wan'er and Cai Yan who were setting an example for Lu Lan. Therefore, Lu Lan's body has the wit and agility of a modern girl formed because she was deeply "poisoned" by Lu Ren. It also has the gentleness and stability of a traditional woman in the Han Dynasty.

And such a girl, placed in such an era, is naturally particularly eye-catching. What's more, Lu Lan was a beauty embryo when she was young, and when she was seventeen or eight years old, she was only slightly inferior to Cai Yan, Diao Chan, and Zhen Mi in terms of appearance. But if you add Lu Lan's unique personality and temperament, as well as her grasp of her own taste after being "poisoned" by Lu Ren, she may not necessarily lose to those people in many cases.

And coincidentally, Lu Lan was sent by Lu Ren to Wu Guomu as a hostage because of Sun Shangxiang's bad incident. It is inevitable that he will run into Sun Quan. And Sun Quan, who has been in Jian'an for ten years, is only twenty-three years old, although he can't be regarded as a lustful person, but as long as he is a normal man, he is a beautiful woman, especially an outstanding beauty, how can he not have some love for him?

In short, Sun Quan can't forget what happened when he came to Wu Guomu to say hello to Wu Guomu that day.

At that time, Sun Quan didn't know that Sun Shangxiang actually secretly took a boat to Yizhou to play, but he only knew that Sun Shangxiang left a letter to Wu Guomu. Say you're out and about. Because this kind of thing has long been commonplace for Sun Shangxiang, Sun Quan didn't care much about it.

But after some time. Sun Quan was suddenly summoned by Wu Guomu and told Sun Quan that Sun Shangxiang had secretly gone to Yizhou, which made Sun Quan furious at that time. Yizhou is Lu Ren's territory, and it is not in Sun Quan's territory, plus there is an old feud between the Sun family and the Lu family, if Sun Shangxiang is taken hostage by Lu Ren. The trouble is endless.

It was precisely because of this that even when Sun Quan heard that Lu Ren had sent someone to report the incident, and vaguely explained in the letter that the person sent had a hostage, Sun Quan was still angry. After all, in Sun Quan's opinion, his and Lu Ren's identities are not on the same level at all. So where can the people sent by Lu Ren be worthy of Sun Shangxiang? If Lu Ren wanted to do anything unfavorable to Sun Shangxiang, it would be casual, and the person sent would definitely be a dead soldier that Lu Ren could sacrifice at will. To put it more simply, Sun Quan thinks that he has made a big loss-making deal.

It's just that when Sun Quan was very angry and asked Wu Guomu to call Lu Lan out, and was about to find Lu Lan to vent his anger, as soon as he saw Lu Lan's face, Sun Quan's anger dissipated without a trace. Sun Quan is Wu Hou, and he is in the land south of the Yangtze River, if you want to say that there are definitely not a few beautiful women, but a girl like Lu Lan is simply the best for that era, Sun Quan has seen it for the first time.

It was under this view that Sun Quan believed in Lu Ren's sincerity. Lu Lan's own best index can certainly explain a little bit, but the extremely delicate relationship between Lu Lan and Lu Ren is also very important. It is rumored in the market that Lu Lan is Lu Ren's forbidden belly, but Sun Quan used to be extraordinarily disdainful of this, and always thought that Lu Lan was nothing more than a coquettish woman like a fox spirit. But after seeing it, Sun Quan realized that he was completely wrong.

Such a smart but steady woman has nothing to do with the word coquettishness. What's even worse is that although it is rumored in the market that Lu Lan is Lu Ren's forbidden body, Wu Guomu clearly told Sun Quan that Miss Lan has not yet left the cabinet...... In fact, it means telling Sun Quan that Lu Lan is still a yellow flower girl. Lu Ren has already explained his family's hardships in the letter, and Wu Guomu also understands the temper of her daughter Sun Shangxiang, so Lu Ren's sincerity in sending Lu Lan as a hostage is enough. If you Sun Quan said anything excessive at this time, it wouldn't be a little too much.

As for Sun Quan, he didn't care much about the others, but when he heard that Lu Lan was still the eldest daughter of Huanghua, he had a very different plan in his heart. And this kind of intention is not only for itself, but also for the political aspect......

――――――――――――――――――――

"Lord, lord!"

Sun Quan, who was immersed in his own thoughts, suddenly woke up, looked at Lu Su who was sitting in the side seat, and then remembered that after he came back from greeting Wu Guomu, he called Lu Su here to discuss matters. Thinking that he would lose his mind just now because of thinking about women, Sun Quan couldn't help but blush slightly, and quickly collected his thoughts before sighing lightly: "Zijing, Gongjin's strategy of 'dividing the world into two', I really don't know when and when it will be realized." ”

Lu Su knew that Sun Quan was thinking about something else just now, but he didn't say much, just followed Sun Quan's words and said: "Gong Jin's strategy of 'dividing the world into two parts' has been planned for many years, and my Jiangdong attack on Jiangxia last year was a temptation. It's a pity that because of the troubles of the Zhuyue Hao clan, the lord lost a great opportunity. ”

Sun Quan also came back to his senses at this time, and sighed again and said, "That's why you won't let me say it." Although we led the crowd to capture Jiangxia smoothly before, we had to lead troops back because of the turmoil between Shanyue and the wealthy clans in the territory. Although I have been in Jiangdong for several years, and the current situation in Jiangdong has been somewhat calm, many wealthy families in the territory are still unconvinced, and the southern Shanyue has not been swept away. It will still take several years for our Jiangdong to stabilize its territory, and before that, Jiangdong will not be able to attack the outside world. Speaking of which, it is still God who refuses to give me the time Jiangdong needs! ”

Lu Su nodded and said: "A few days ago, the detailed work of Hebei, the development of the current situation over there is also the same as what Lu Ren said before, Cao Mengde is almost sweeping Hebei. In two years at most, Cao Mengde can take the whole of Hebei into his hands. And then ......"

Sun Quan nodded, and sighed again: "I think Yuan Benchu is also a hero for a while, but his three sons are so poor!" Originally, although Yuan Benchu was defeated by Guandu, after all, he was deeply rooted in Hebei. If his three sons could be unanimous, the affairs of the north would still be unknown, and Cao Mengde would not have been able to invade Jizhou so easily. If Hebei is uncertain, Cao Mengde will not be able to go south......

"Maybe Gong Jin's miscalculation is here, but this can't be blamed on Gong Jin, because none of us thought that the three sons of the Yuan family would have a battle for the throne, let alone that Yuan Tan would pretend to vote for Cao Cao in order to compete for the throne, which is obviously luring the wolf into the room! Lu Ren said that at the latest at the end of next winter, Cao Mengde will be in charge of Jizhou, and I expect this to be true...... What a pity! ”

Saying that, Sun Quan drank all the fragrant tea, and then the tea bowl was slammed to the ground by Sun Quan: "If the eldest brother is still there, his prestige is enough to deter the Jiangdong heroes and make Jiangdong worry-free. If you are enterprising Jingxiang, Liu Jingsheng is not worried! If you take Xichuan after Jingzhou, it seems that this is enough to fight against Cao Mengde! It's a pity, it's a pity, it's a pity! ”

In the last sentence, Sun Quan roared out with some grief and unwillingness, Lu Su saw Sun Quan like this on the side, so he could only shake his head and persuade again: "Lord, the deceased has passed away, so don't be like this." ”

Sun Quan shook his head with a wry smile, and sat down on the seat a little weakly: "The eldest brother died, and I inherited Jiangdong with the year of the uncrowned (Sun Quan was only sixteen or seven years old when he succeeded to the throne, so it is called the year of the uncrowned, and the "year of the weak crown" generally refers to the age of twenty). And in the past two or three years, how many battles have we fought and how much chaos have we settled? Three years, three years! There are three years of time, I am afraid that it is enough for us to make progress and make it convinced! But now it doesn't work......" (To be continued.) )
